It is intended that recent graduate engineering students will be able to think critically about a problem and generate solutions [22]. The changes in students’ responses were visible on this question. Prior to the course only 11% of students strongly agreed with the statement. After the course, this number increased more than three times, to 37%. Additionally, no students reported to disagree with the statement, and the number who reported feeling neutral I can communicate engineering solutions in economic terms after the course significantly decreased

% required some sort ofmodeling course. In 2019, over 90% of BME programs incorporate computing in their BMEundergraduate and graduate programs. How computing is integrated into the classroom, though,is highly variable. The Fourth BME Education Summit in 2019 concluded that most BMEdepartments use modeling to understand biological systems, but could benefit from usingmodeling to teach operating principles of biological systems [2], i.e. the mechanisms of biology.Senior undergraduates and new graduate students in BME may have some exposure tocardiovascular physiology but are likely unaware of the complex biomechanical behaviors ofcardiac and vascular tissues. For instance, students may know of Poiseuille flow from fluidmechanics, but do not

After this analysis, students identified improvementfeatures, established initial requirements, and created individual solution sketches. All this analysiswas presented in the sixth week.With the initial requirements defined, each group of students initiated the redesign processconsisting of 3 iterations. For each iteration, students had to review literature articles to analyzethe possibilities for improving each requirement.

improvement in student writing proficiency with technicalwriting instruction. Notably, students found one-on-one feedback the most helpful resource forimproving future work. Some of the preference for individual feedback may be attributed notonly to useful general writing instruction but also specific information on how the instructorwould deduct points. Some comments in the post-course survey suggested this, and we willdecouple these two reasons in later surveys. A hesitation to integrating in-person, one-on-onefeedback on student writing is expected; one of the biggest challenges being the educators’ time[4]. With one dedicated teaching assistant working 10 hr/wk, however, we provided feedback to50 students in three lab sections.Peer-review

Similarly,previous work has demonstrated that BME students do expand their knowledge base of possiblecareers throughout their undergraduate tenure [7]. These results are not surprising as thebroadening of BME student perceptions across varying education levels has been reported before,with students of different education levels viewing the field of BME with subtle distinction [14].In addition to general

One unique feature ofthe course is that it also covers design and implementation of assistive technologies. Whereasmany universities offer courses in medical robotics, and some offer courses in assistivetechnology, few, if any, offer courses combining both medical robotics and assistive technologies.Even more so, such courses are typically offered at the graduate level.
